The idea that prayers can help is pure insanity, if there is a god and its
his/her will that someone will struck down with an illness such as cancer,
then the decision has already been made and praying will do no good
whatsoever.

If there is no god then praying is just pissing in the wind, that said I
wish RLB all the best in his personal battle with cancer.
